The Northern Territory Government is proposing to reform its criminal
law offences so that they accord with the principles contained in the
Model Criminal Code as developed by Australia’s Attorneys-General
Ministerial Council. As part of these reforms the NT Department of the
Attorney-General and Justice is consulting on the draft Criminal Law
Amendment (Sexual Offences) Bill 2014. This draft Bill deals with the
sexual offences and related offences of the Criminal Code.

The draft Bill is accompanied by brief summary paper identifying
the relationship between the offences in the draft Bill and those in the
current Criminal Code and the Model Criminal Code.
